• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

    P3D v5 FS9 to P3D5 conversion Gauge Problem

    Hi guys I successfully converted the Miles Magister Trainer to P3D5. Inside the cockpit it has a compass which is laying horizontally and not displaying correctly. The gauge seems ok, since in the 2D window, there is no problem. Also the tooltip works fine in VC. I tried with transparency but...

    MCX Model Import seems broken in v1.9.2026.0102

    Hi Just loaded an airplane model (*.mdl) with the latest development release I got today and it showed me only 1-2 parts of the plane in a distance. I kept an old version of MCX, 1.7.0.0, and this loads the same model as usual. zoomed in a bit before the elevator was even further away The...

    MCX 1.8.2025.1121 doesn't load certain .mdl objects

    Hi I'm having problems to load some models in .mdl format. The last incident I had with an interior cockpit model, which is compiled for FSX and runs fine in my sim P3Dv5.3. What I do: Go into the model directory and pull the TomA333NG_interior.MDL onto the MCX window. It loads and the protocol...

    Scenery Complexity Setting - Can this setting be changed in a .bgl?

    I have a scenery object, that only appears if my P3D scenery setting is at "very dense". It's a field called "Image complexity" according to BGLViewer. I searched ModelconverterX for an option to set this before re-exporting a scenery file but didn't find it. Only ADE can change this for...

    Takeoff and landing forced to specific runway directions

    I'm reworking Calvi LFKC. This has one runway 18/36. The airport is at the coast and in the rear of the island we have high mountains. So planes in real world land on 18 towards the mountains and take off on 36 towards the sea. Now that seems to be a problem for P3D v5.3 ATC, which assigns me to...

    ADE does no longer start

    This happened after I had some BSOD because of a new BIOS version. I tried to uninstall a windows update first. That may have brocken something. The BIOS has been changed back, no everything is fine apart from ADE. I tried to hide my recent projects with no effect. They have no specially long...

    Why adding a water runway to airport on land?

    I recently approached SBRJ from Paulo Ricardo. I used a land plane but was adviced to land on water runway 36. I checked with ADE and really, the airport had 3 runways 02R/20L, 02L/20R and 36W/18W. The latter is only 3.3 ft long an not crosswind. What is the intention of this? Obviously it does...

    P3D v5 Need help converting a cockpit (vc) from FS9 to P3D5, gauges already .xml

    It's an airplane product made once for FS9 and FSX and it used to be an fs9 .mdl file. I successfully converted this to both internal and external .mdl. The gauges for the cockpit are all .xml format. The plane looks correct outside and inside P3D5, also animations. The only thing not working...

    P3D v5 Memory leak with MCX converted buildings

    Since many years I got buildings from 3DWarehouse and used the convert and place object wizard. Since some time, 3DWarehouse only offers skp files for different editions of Sketchup. I use Sketchup 2019 and export a building into .kmz files, which I can load into MCX in the above mentioned...

    Attached objects confusion

    Hi Arno If I load a plane into MCX by draging the aircraft.cfg onto the MCX window I get this: The two lights you can see should be under the wings on the gear strut. They are above and animation is wrong. Looks like axis were exchanged. I get the desired positions and animations, when...

    Redrawing the Coastline

    Hi friends I recently brushed up an older FSX scenery in P3D5 from Canouan, TVSC. From the sat-view I could see, the island has now a longer runway (as is in v5 default already) and a new yacht harbor. It was easy to add the water onto the land, but the coastline which I need to remove for the...

    P3D v5 ModelConverterX Conversion of a FS9 aircraft

    I´m actually converting the Fokker S-14 Machtrainer from Emile and David. It has some static elements, like a gpu and chokes, which I don´t know under what condition within MCX, I should select them to show up. Sure, the chokes could be with parking brakes but what is with the gpu? I have some...

    MCX Rotation center remains outside object center when centerin object

    I imported a watertower from a .bgl file. It was standing displaced of the center (0,0,0) so I used the move object command of MCX. That worked fine and the tower was now standing in the coordinates center. I saved the object with new name and GUID and imported it to a new library, saved this...

    Hi I checked my settings forth and back, nothing helps. I can compile to P3D5 without problem. If I choose FSX, it goes faster, the log shows everything fine but there is no file written or it´s written and deleted. The log below shows from loading the FS9 object to the saving of the FSX .mdl...

    Again BSOD machine check exception

    I recently started again having BSODs when loading a complex model into MCX. I just drag a sim.cfg onto the MCX window. The event window only shows about 2-3 lines then the screen freezes before something is shown. A short wind up from the ventilators. Everything is frozen then. I have to wait...

    Invisible default objects

    In my airport project I use default objects from vehicles_airport.bgl, which is in the global directory of P3D5.1. Most objects from there are visible in the night lights. I use the ones from iniBuild here. I tried to tweak the vehicles_airport.bgl objects with MCX, but didn´t find the setting...
